I have been making this exact recipe for the past two years. It is absolutely delicious! I am a glueten free girl and I prepare this cake for my family at least 4 times each year. It is my favorite birthday cake and will remain in the #1 spot on my list for many years to come. It is very easy to make, do not be afraid of this what so ever. Bake at a lower temperature to insure that it does not get too dark.
I have also substituted Stevia sugar for the regular sugar. Stevia will tend to brown quickly so make extra sure you decrease oven temp by 25 to 30 degrees if you choose to use Stevia. Also, omit adding salt when using Stevia as it naturally has a salty flavor. Enjoy!
Thanks for sharing your tips Phyllis. It is always helpful to hear from someone who has "been there, done that". Happy baking! ~ MaryJane
